Rangers +104 (Leiter/Bassett) // $ 100-$104
Bassett has started three games in each of the last three years at Camden Yards and hasn't gotten out of the 4th inning in any of those starts. He's given up 19 ER in 9 1/3 innings for an ERA of 18.33. Lefties hit .283 against him last year and the Rangers have decent numbers against him as well. Horses for courses, that short right field may not be ideal for Bassett.
This is also a bet on Leiter who probably came up too soon. He didn't have the fastball control that's needed or an out pitch. He did finish up spring training strong with no walks in his last 12 2/3 innings and was taught a cutter by Crochet that might be the out pitch he needed.
